I tried to download rogue killer after resent infection but it asked for a license number, can someone give me a link to download the program for free or is this only a temp usage when infected, thanks
MSE.. Microsoft Security Essentials is what many of us here use. It doesn't have any of those extras that nag you about non-security related things. Depending on your operating system it may already be installed on your computer.
It can be downloaded here for installation on Win 7 and Vista...
If you think you may have a malware infection it would be better to start a new thread in our intensive care forum where Broni can give you more specific instructions on when and how to run Rogue Killer or other scanners. It's possible to delete wrong items without knowing exactly what to do.

I use Win 10 where can I download MSE. and do I need to use an Avast removal tool or just delete it.
Also Avast blocked me from downloading Rogue Killer says it's malware
I was declared clean by Broni 22/6/18 less than 2 weeks ago but things seem a bit hesitant, should I go to intensive care or wait and see if getting rid of Avast helps Thanks
Win 10 already has MSE (now renamed Windows Defender Security Center). Removing Avast should turn it back on automatically on but to be sure have a look in settings/update and security. See pic...
Then you should be able to download Rogue Killer. If things still are unusually slow AND Rogue Killer indicates any malware issues then I would redo the intensive forum regimen.

Now got MSE. and Rogue Killer, Thanks
One more problem I have is with Ccleaner, when I do a scan it asks to shutdown Microsoft Edge as it's still running then force it to close
but I don't use Microsoft Edge I only ever use Internet Explorer. Is there a way to stop this, Thanks
Check the Processes tab in Task Manager to see if Edge is running. If you are using Internet Explorer, you should see iexlpore.exe listed. However, Microsoft has made the Edge and Internet Explorer icons very similar. You could also check the Startup programs to see if Edge is listed there.
I already have ME background app turned off, I don't use apps i only use internet explorer mainly for shopping but still have Ccleaner ME. problem: confused:
If that is actually the Edge Content Process, Microsoft does not really want you to disable that, since they want you to use Edge. You could try the suggestion on the last post at the link below.
